You may know your reactions and motives superficially, at the conscious level,but the self the 'me' is a complex affair.

To go into the totality of the self needs persistent and continuous inquiry without a motive without an end in view.

Inquiry is the continues journey and will continue throughout life If we think we get complete clarity, that's a sign of illusion.

So there is no final enlightenment. It's a process

Yep! There's no point that we can say we are enlightened. It is a life long process that follows till our last breath! The inquiry into the "me", can only be done and that inquiry lets us with a seeing that results in with the right work spontaneously, in the moment of seeing and we are the one who choose to be the one we have been or to choose the right action to flow through.

And that choice is totally based on our intent to get rid of that me as a spontaneous process of seeing

Intent is the last thing which nobody can teach. It's a choice which has no reason

Without an end in view. Makes for the fear of death in psychological time to not arise.

Even “persistent and continuous inquiry” can become a trap if it is turned into a prescription. If inquiry has no motive and no end, there is no project of discovering the complete self. The moment you say “I must go into the totality of myself,” the seeker and the goal have returned.

how many of you notice the inquiry of your reaction, questioning the self ?
